2011 Day of Remembrance
Fighting  Against Fear
The 31st Annual San Jose Day of  Remembrance will held next month.
 
Sunday, February 20, 2011
5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
 
San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin
640 N. Fifth Street, San Jose
 

 
During the past year, threats of Koran burnings and heightened  tensions 
between the Justice Department and Muslim American cvil rights  organizations 
have direct parallels with the experience of Japanese  Americans during 
World War II.  The 2011 Day of Remembrance theme  “Fighting Against Fear” will 
address what Japanese  Americans had to endure during World War II and what 
Arabs, Muslim and  South Asian Americans face today.  The event aims to 
bring  different communities together in order to build trust, respect and  
understanding among all people and to renew our pledge to fight for  equality, 
justice and peace.
 
This year's DOR will feature a remembrance by Jimi Yamaichi,  Curator of 
the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj), a talk by  Zahra Billoo, 
Executive Director of Council of American-Islamic  Relations (CAIR), a 
performance by San Jose Taiko, and the traditional  candlelight procession through 
San Jose Nihonmachi.  
Event is free and open to the public.  For more information,  go to the 
_NOC website_ (http://www.sjnoc.org/)   or call  408-505-1186
